“So Danae endured, the beautiful, To change the glad daylight for brass-bound walls, And in that chamber secret as the grave, She lived a prisoner. Yet to her came Zeus in the golden rain.”

“Endymion the shepherd, As his flock he guarded, She, the Moon, Selene, Saw him, loved him, sought him, Coming down from heaven To the glade on Latmus, Kissed him, lay beside him. Blessed is his fortune. Evermore he slumbers, Tossing not nor turning, Endymion the shepherd.”
From the third-century poet Theocritus.

“O Bacchanals, come, Oh, come! Sing Dionysus, Sing to the trimbel, The deep-voiced trimbel! Joyfully praise him, Him who brings joy! Holy, all holy Music is calling! To the hills, to the hills, Fly, O Bacchanal Swift of foot! On, O joyful, be fleet!”

Prerequisites: Neutral Evil, caster level 1st; see Special, below
Benefit: You may – at any time, as a free action – choose to gain all the physical benefits and drawbacks of Corruption Stage 2[Hive corruption].
You retain this Corruption Stage for one minute per character level you possess; your Corruption cannot increase to Stage 3.
You do not acquire Manifestations for your Corruption normally. Instead, any time that you would normally gain a feat* (including a Bonus Feat, with your GM’s permission, such as from the Aberrant Bloodline), you may instead select any one Manifestation for which you otherwise meet the prerequisites. You receive the benefits of any Manifestation selected in this way only while you possess a Corruption Stage. Your Manifestation level – for purposes of this feat – is always equal to one half your character level, rounded up.
*with your GM’s permission, you may also choose to gain access to a new Manifestation in place of an Oracle Revelation; oracles with this ability often possess access to the Mystery of the Dark Tapestry.
At will as a move action, while you possess a Corruption Stage, you may expend a single spell or spell-slot of 1st level or higher to gain any one additional Manifestation for which you meet the prerequisites. Your access to this special Manifestation lasts for one minute. You always gain all effects of the Stain associated with any Manifestation that you acquire via use of this feat; Stains acquired by gaining a temporary Manifestation always last for 24 hours, even after the Manifestation has faded.
During this time, whenever you summon one or more creatures that would normally be available with the entropic,fiendish, or resolute template using a summon monster spell (or an effect that mimics such a spell), you may choose to instead apply the Hive Creature Simple Template to each such creature.
In addition, while this ability is active, you add hive larva swarm and hive warrior to your summon monster list as 4th level creatures; thus, you could summon a single hive warrior using summon monster IV or summon 1d3 hive larva swarms using summon monster V. You also add hive queen to your summon monster list as a 7th level creature; thus, you could summon a single hive queen using summon monster VII or summon 1d3 hive queens using summon monster VIII.
Any damaging spell or spell-like ability that you use while you possess a Corruption Stage deals half of its damage as acid damage.
At 9th level, you may expend a single spell or spell slot of 4th level or higher as a standard action to use either of the following abilities:
dimension door. This magical transportation must begin and end in a square that includes a hive larva swarm.
apply the swarmblooded template to any one living, corporeal creature within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) with 15 or more Hit Dice (such as a hive queen); this template persists for one minute per caster level you possess. Any creature enhanced in this way always bleeds hive larva swarms when injured.
Whenever you summon a Hive creature, you may choose to summon any such creatures as a move action (rather than as a full-round action); if you do so, the range of your summon monster ability drops to 0 ft.: all creatures summoned by use of this ability must appear in a square either directly adjacent-to your own or overlapping your own (in the case of a hive larva swarm), emerging directly from your own flesh.
At will as a move action, you may cause any one hive creature that you have summoned to explode and die, activating its Death Throes special ability as appropriate for creatures of the hive subtype.
Special: While this feat is active, you may never refuse any direct order from any anunnaki, up-to and including such suicidal orders as performing a coup de grace upon yourself and then voluntarily failing the Fortitude save. You may not harm or endanger any anunnaki; if ordered to do so by another anunnaki, you may instead take your own life. You may not deliberately speak any lie to an anunnaki, including bluffing, stating half-truths with the intent to deceive, exaggerating, telling white lies or practicing any other type of intentional misdirection; this applies to all forms of verbal, non-verbal, magical and written communication.
Fortunately, anunnaki in-phase with our reality are rare beyond imagining and this limitation is rarely enforced.
Alternatively, each additional time this feat is selected, you may choose any one living, corporeal creature of CR 6 or less, such as a babau,belker,cave giant,death worm,giantanaconda,girallonorkyton. At will as a full-round action (but see Sudden Evolution, below), you may cause any one hive warrior that you have summoned to explode and die, activating its Death Throes special ability as normal. You then automatically summon a new CR 6 creature of your selected type (above) and apply the Hive Creature Template as you do so; this creature must appear in a square that was immediately vacated by your now-deceased hive warrior.
Sudden Evolution: You may always choose to expend a single spell or spell slot of 1st level or higher to activate this ability as a standard action rather than as a full-round action.
You must have ready access to a fully-built version of the final stat-block for any creature you choose to summon by use of this feat, approved by your GM, before you may use this ability.
So one of my favorite things in the world is to write mythos, y’all know this. I’ve been feeling a little creatively constipated so I brought out the big guns.
Outside of Vegas I found the place. I parked and sat in the cold and waited. A coyote sat in the dark watching, waiting with me. From nowhere and everywhere we heard her song in the sand. The Pisces sang from her ancient grave. And we sang along.

The Babylonian origin goddess Tiamat as depicted by Carolyn Scrace in Gerald Legg’s X-Ray Picture Book of Incredible Creatures. Her scale and configuration here puts me in mind of a GMO or even Mythos biosphere-seeding machine, a kind of monstrous Last Universal Common Ancestor.
New post because we got the WHOLE LOT of the first round of stretch goals unlocked!!
The whole Underworld set:
The whole Titans of Tartarus set:
AS WELL AS the 3 new pins to the Cursed Mortals set:
Right now the Kickstarter is $47 shy of 13K and we’ve made a promise that at 15k we will unlock a set of Tiny Monsters to match folks’ sets of Tiny Heroes (9 1-1.25 inch hard enamel pins). I don’t have these to show yet because I’m still working on the dang set BUT I did promise that I would reveal 4 of them when we hit 13k~
FOLKS. Its time for a NEW POST! Since yesterday??? We’ve unlocked ALL of the Titans in our Kickstarter!! We’ve also added a reward tier for those who wanted to grab BOTH SETS (100% worth checking out imo ;> )
We’ve ALSO unlocked PANDORA and are all of $300 shy of unlocking Narcissus out of the remaining set of pins we have ready for this Kickstarter:
Medusa, Icarus and Circe might be familiar bc they were a part of our last campaign~! We’re using this campaign to round out the set!
We’ve got a lot planned even after this set is unlocked don’t fret! If you back the Kickstarter you can also drop a couple suggestions as comments on the page we’ll be selecting 3-5 of these suggestions to add to existing sets~
I’ll drop the link in the reblog of this post since that seems to help these posts be visible on your TLs <3
All pins unlocked!! We’re trying to reach the new stretch goal to unlock a set of Tiny Monsters to match the set of Tiny Heroes from the last Kickstarter!!
This goal is at 15K but we’re making good progress so far and still have 9 days to make it there!!

We’re back at it again with a NEW PIN KICKSTARTER~~ This time for a set of underworld pins looking a little like this:
That’s right we unlocked the FULL SET already!!
BUT WAIT. We also have a SECOND SET we’re looking to unlock and we’re JUST TWO PINS SHY of unlocking the entire Titans Set:
I MAY be adding two to this set though (Helios & Selene) if we can hit the last two stretch goals tonight/before tomorrow morning I may consider it ;>
We also have three new Cursed Humans to add to the set (to match Icarus, Circe and Medusa from the previous Kickstarter). Those are not up on the campaign just yet. I’m waiting until this set is unlocked before revealing them~~
(You can find a link to the project on my page, Tumblr is being weird and suppressing my posts because they’ve had links before so I’m trying one without in the hopes it reaches a few more people this way)!
Any project boosts, reblogs and spreading the project through word of mouth would be SUPER helpful! We only have 14 days to unlock as much as we can!!

FOLKS WE DID IT!!! WE UNLOCKED THE LAST OFFICIAL “SET”
Any funds raised beyond this point will go towards reprinting Olympians (maybe adding 1-2 more pins to the KS at higher goals) and re-rpinting TheMaM: Greek Mythology and more Myth retold stories!!!
We still have 5 days to raise as many funds as possible to help us out! I’ll even start looking into reviving this blog from the ashes honestly, I am constantly baffled by the support of everyone here, thank you all so so very much for everything you’ve all done <3
ONLY 30 HOURS LEFT FOLKS!!!
We’ve unlocked ALL the stretch goals for new pins!!! The only goal we have left is for the re-print of The Olympians!!! We could use all the sharing around we can get to make this happen!!!
8( Hey folks!! we fell under our last stretch goal and are now $180 away again! Consider helping us reach it before the campaign ends!!
Hecate guides you to hell with a torch of incandescent flame.
Fans of the underworld, please check out this enamel pin Kickstarter by my pal J, it’s got every Greek underworld inhabitant you could imagine as gorgeous enamel pins, ideal for the goth nerds in your life.
